I agree with Mitch, go big.




Unless you have a proper cage and significant reinforcement to support the chassis, I would stick with 1.06 or lower for A bodies and 1.10 or lower for the B and E's. Any more than that and significant torsional load is transferred to the chassis; you begin to pop spot welds and tear sheet metal.




That might be just a bit of hyperbole. IMO, every load or movement of the car transfers load to the chassis, and those loads in small enough amounts might take millions of cycles to eventaully fatigue sheet metal and welds. ANYTHING that increases those loads decreases the amount of cycles the chassis can accept before failures crop up. Therefore for 99.99% confidence in your chassis, never move your car. For those not inclined to just look at their car, using a heavier TB then a smaller one will shorten the time in use before sheet metal tears and spot welds to pop. The following are some things that also cause these unfavorable mentioned earlier out comes:
1. Higher tire pressures
2. Lower profile Tires
3. Stiffer Tire side walls
4. Increased cargo/passenger weight
5. Higher driving speed
6. Bigger potholes
7. Increased braking forces
8. Faster cornering speeds
9. greater driving mileages
10. Previously abused chassis

Pick your poison, there is no free ride.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
